Let's see what Rockstar had done to create this underwhelming remastered: -They removed old games from most stores, so they leave players with no choice but buying this remastered version. -They took down all mods from old games for no appropiate reasons. -They decided to outsource this remaster to inexperience studio who also responsible for shitty mobile port and the previous crap remaster as well. -They HAVE all the money to create a remake, but they decided to do the easy way for easy money. -No matter how you look at it, even tho there are 3 games, $60 for this crap is way too much, especially for the lazy remaster and 20 years old games (Just leave people option to buy the old games dammit!). -To add more wounds, remastered version didn't even fix bugs from old games, in fact they added some more, although it's not a bug but the new draw distance makes the game looks ugly.
@@chillvibed Dan probably wanted to prioritize other titles, instead of going on the GTA 6 development. Take Two could've shut him down on all ideas he had and tried to force him to do GTA 6. But this is just one man's opinion, a shot in the dark.
@@IceDani09 Surely as it.And also to have tried to make a game with a new setting and AT LEAST good graphics. These ports were just graphical and fucked up so bad.
I'm glad that the Definitive Edition is hated. I almost thought that people were actually enjoying it unironically. I was about to rant at some disingenuous, dense mofos.
Yeah, I don't understand people who posted that the game looks "good", and _not_ like your typical zero-effort barebones default Unreal Engine 4 asset flip.
@@roadent217 It really is typical Unreal Engine 4 graphics. Actually, no, that ambient occlusion is terrible. Graphics mods allow GTA:SA to have full path traced glory. This is an embarrassment next to that.
@@shinayanami The way the light shines on them, creating strange shadows across their faces, it's terrible. Not to mention their faces looking bloated and distorted.
Ikr, before the gane released i saw everyone hyped for the game and how it looked beaultiful... the game looks like the generic game made on unreal 4 that you will find exploring the depths on steam, it's horrendous, and it's 60 fucking dollars
And yet people still ask for GTA6 for some reason. Far as I see it, the "company" is trying to take as much money in as they can before they just give up on making anything anymore...
the funniest thing is the remasters weren't even made by Rockstar themselves but by Grove Street Games, a studio mostly known for mobile/ios ports, so Rockstar probably paid them like 3 pence and pockets the rest of the sales
It gets even better when you realise that Rockstar didn't even make these games. They outsourced it to Grove Street Games, the same people who made the Mobile ports of the Originals.
Woah woah, wait... You are telling me, that War drum studios did this shit? A G A I N?! Didnt they learned from the terrible ports for ps3, xbox 360... Mobile... Rockstar let the game development in their hands again. W h y
So that’s why the mobile versions run terrible on every new phone. I can understand why it could be hard to optimize them for android with hundreds devices, but even for iOS with few phones and tablets it works like shit
@@TrainHardnett Rockstar gonna fight Blizzard's title of worst remaster (also Reforged didn't took away the original AND the shitty remake while R* did both)
I've been set back by days from working on a review for the games. PlayStation players had it a day before release, while PC players still don't have it- TWO DAYS AFTER RELEASE
This is absolute proof that it is morally acceptable to pirate all of Rockstar's games. As Gabe Newell famously said, piracy is a service problem. When the experience from pirates is better in every way than the "legitimate" offerings, that is damning of the company, and they need to do better if they want your money.
Exactly why I don't mind buying games on steam, but if you try to force your own launcher on me like ubisoft or Rockstar then im just going to pirate instead.
@@Scripzure well, the victim is technically the developers/the company themselves, tho I have no sympathy for a company as greedy as Rockstar so I don't really care that much
I've given plenty of money to Rockstar already and I'm more than happy giving them more. I'm just waiting for them to finally sell something that's worth money
When rockstar said it was going to be a mix of old and new graphics, I imagined better lighting, weather, and more refined textures. But unsurprisingly, they made it worse than I could possibly imagine from a billion dollar company
They've been dead for a while, dude. Post RDR2, only thing they're gonna do is 'enhance' GTA V, port it into different platforms, and milk the living hell out of RDR and GTA Online. Even if GTA 6 is ever going to be released, if there's anything these AAA companies have taught us, is to set ourselves a low expectation for their products
Not defending Rockstar, but they didn't do the remaster, it was Grove Street Games but doesn't change the fact that both Rockstar and GSG are both in fault, also GSG thinking that AI for upscaling the textures is a good idea.
We're at the point where companies as big as EA, Bethesda and Rockstar KNOW they are too big to fail. They can re-release the same game over, and over, and over. People will buy it. They can offload the remaster of threee of their most popular and beloved games to a company who half assed the 360 version of San Andreas and has proven they are incompetent in game design. Doesn't matter. They'll just remove the original games from the store, threaten to sue any modders who made graphical mods and force those down. Giving you no choice BUT to buy the remaster. Whether it sucks ass or not, people will buy it. Effort and passion are not a requirement. All the old talent at Rockstar left. Dan Houser, Lazlow Jones. Everything POST RDR2 from Rockstar will likely suck ass because that's when they all left. Now Rockstar will just release half assed shit, and milk GTA Online. I'm not even excited for GTA 6 at this point because it'll likely lack all the old Rockstar Charm. No one who made the games since GTA V are there anymore. RIP.
I find it hilarious that they called it the "definitive edition." They could have called it literally anything else but its super ironic that the "definitive edition" is the worst version made.
Anyone that looked into who made these Remasters had a feeling this was coming. Grove Street Games (formerly known as "War Drum Studios") made the previous mobile ports and the HD ports (for modern consoles) of the OG GTA games. Anyone who looked critically at those ports (Vladim among others) saw a broken mess with zero love for what these games were.
when they pulled the original games I knew this was going to be a shit fiesta, there is no reason they would pull the original games if the remaster was good, they knew this shit wouldn't hold up to mods of the original games. The draw distance doesn't even look right compared to the SALODLIGHTS mod or w.e
@@loganrcooke everyone likes it bro.. everyone liked the games. And the fun factor is still there... they only wanted to make minor improvements and quality of life changes... so they were small changes. But they royally fucked all of them... You're telling me you LIKE the rain looking like milk and blinding you completely when in the San Andreas country side? And raining indoors, rain filter on screen not even colliding with water texture... the completely emotionless claymation models? Sand Andreas is the best of the trilogy DE imo. It's truest to the original but the models and rain and bugged missions are absolutely trash
@@loganrcooke spent over 3 hours last night trying to stop my game from crashing while accepting any new task or mission or doing literally anything at all.. because of a bugged activity
Companies then: "We encourage modding as it engages the community more strongly with our games and helps us improve our games" Companies now: "You will play exactly how we want you to play, you touch the code we take your house!"
Back when the games are like 3 mbs, game mechanic only involves jump, attack, and move, bugs never get fixed and no game design flaw ever get rectified. Only now that we've forgotten every terribly made game that exist back then.*
I got myself original, physical copies of II, VC and SA last year, as I couldn't get them through R* Launcher. I can still access and play them if I want to and I'm happy with it. I was also happy to see the remasters coming, but before I'd spend $60 on them, I'll watch all the experiences of others
They don't admit fault even if they did most definitely they won't give us a refund even though there already making a shit load of money through shark card sales
to them it was a success it made more than they spent on it hell if 1 person bought it they would of probably made more than they spend on it by the looks of it
The weird thing to me is that Rockstar either makes 10/10 masterpieces or 1/10 cash grabs. There are not other scenarios. Ubisoft for example makes consistent 6/10 games. But you know as a consumer that the games might not be the best, but they are still really enjoyable. Rockstar on the other hand is a 50/50 dice roll where you can expect either a masterpiece or a lazy cashgrab.
I think they knew it was shit, but they take us for fools and think we will just be easily parted with our money. They knew it was so bad they took away any competition by removing the originals so you have to buy this shit. They took down mods because they were insecure it would make the remaster look bad lmao.
I think it’s important to realise that rockstar probably didn’t give a shit about this whole remaster as they completely outsourced to WarDrum studios / Grove Street something
But what they actually said was: "This is terrible, that's why we won't show any gameplay, people are pre-ordering, we'll just launch and get some money, we fix things later"
Fun fact: Rockstar didn't even make the definitive editions. They hired the same developers that made the phone, Xbox 360 and ps3 remaster of Gta San Andreas
@@go4kata143 No, they are not that bad, but that's because they're good games, the port and features were still way off and it was a bug-fest. Definitive is also not a bad game because the core game itself is not bad, doesn't mean the port/remaster/remake or w/e they call it is good, it just means the original game was.
The definitive Edition is Like my home work in lockdown: shitty looking, copied from something That already exists, no effort put into and done just to be able to say something was done
Dan Houser and other creative masterminds are missed in this sad times. I wonder what they think about the attrocities Rockstar is comitting to their creations.
probably dont give a shit, they got their pay check and thats what matters to them. there were cracks starting to show right back when GTA V released, years before those creative minds left
@@koolhoven6342 Gta 5 is widely regarded as one of the greatest games of all time. It has its flaws, but what game doesn't have. What you can clearly see though is that they cared about the game. You also cannot deny that Rockstar cared about RDR2 despite its flaws. Since Houser and company left, Rockstar stopped giving a shit as you can See now with this trainwreck.
Fun fact: These "unintentional files" are apparently (some people checked it) files from dev version of the original trilogy, not even the definitive edition ones. Which include files such as: -dev comments -original music -LITERALLY HOT COFFEE ROCKSTAR FAILS AT REMOVEING SOMETHING THAT MADE THEM TROUBLE MANY YEARS AGO, AGAIN, NOW, WHEN RE-RELEASING IT'S REMASTER
When you think GTA3 was the first 3D GTA and was a milestone in gaming and then Vice City just upped the anti and was such an iconic game loved by everyone and then GTA San Andreas came along and had so many great characters and stars voicing them and just blew everything out of the water with its size and content, it's hard to believe that Rockstar would allow these 3 unbelievably classic games to be treated so badly is a fuckin joke. WTF!
@@theredguy2670 They shouldnt have relied so heavily on thar studio, you send your child to go to your shady friend to stay for a bit. you send them to a caretaking friend. Rockstar clearly didn't have any passion for this. only the money
Worst part is when I pointed out many issues of the remasters, someone told me "you're just a GTA5 kid that isn't used to old games" and I was like BOI! I have been in the GTA modding community for 13 years! I know that AAA products should not look like this! Edit: The reason people can't get more that 30 fps is because past that the physics break. Once again "professional" game devs couldn't fix a 20 yo bug in a new engine that fans fixed in the original engine years ago.
isn't stuff still majorly broken if you uncap the original games even with mods??? these version have far less fps-tied physics brokenness than the originals do finally playing these at 100+ fps on a 144hz monitor is what i've wanted for years
"you're not used to old games" What kind of logic is that? The whole point of remastering a game is so it's not old anymore. If we wanted to play a game with Technological issues and limitations we'd just keep the originals, why spent money on the remaster then?
I'm predicting it right now: The GTA 5 "Expanded and Enhanced" release is going to be the one that brings Rockstar down for good, after which they may either dissolve or finally, finally go back to their roots
nah, it's gonna be the one that brings Rockstar down for good because they actively INSIST on being bad. I mean ACTIVELY, it's like they're TRYING to be the most hated video game publisher in the world
if its like in the trailers then yes, because that was garbage, but maybe with this release they think twice before they shit on gta 5 too. But then again, its rockstar
Remember that CoD exists. Basically the same game every year yet everyone buys it. If Rockstar releases GTA 6 millions of people will buy it regardless if its good or not. As long as it exists and has a decent trailer it'll probably sell very high. Thats just how games like this work.
It’s honestly incredible how with recent events at R* from the departure of beloved producers to the release of this “remaster” managed to absolutely DECIMATE the company from beloved to no better than EA and Activision
I watched a stream of San Andreas remastered on Twitch without knowing that that there is a remastered Version of it and thought the Streamer installed a mod that changes the Graphic. It just looks like a badly modded version of GTA lol. Edit: holy f that sh!t costs 60dollars hahaha
It’s such a shame. GTA III and Vice City’s remasters are actually pretty good. There a few character models in it that are bad and the rain at night makes it impossible to see clear, and the San Andreas sound effects on the menu are annoying but other than that, it’s pretty damn good. But San Andreas from what I’ve seen seems absolutely terrible. Bad textures, glitches, and several terrible character models and no expressions. And this whole fiasco with RGL is inexcusable.
People saying "The audio in the REMASTERS sound horrible because it's nostalgic" ....Anyone who played Homeworld Remaster and Starcraft 1 Remaster KNOWS how bullshit that is. The sounds in those remasters are completely cleaned up and sound amazing *and* nostalgic, because it's the exact same god damn sound.. just no longer in 32 fucking Kbps.
Im wondering if its just the Videos or my speakers. Like the originals even for their age still sound clean and have good audio, but i look at Trilogy and its like i have Bass like sound everywhere, and just something else on top of it.
R* CEO: "Alright boys! were making a remake!" Dev team lead: "Yes sir! If you don't mind me asking, what's the budget?" R* CEO: *Spits in his face Dev team lead: "Ah, the usual."
Can we admire the fact a billion dollar company with the money resources and clearly the time since they don’t seem to be doing anything can not compete with random ppl creating mods it’s so sad
Well, either they are working their asses off on a different project and just went into this with as low effort as they could just for the sake of releasing something. Or the more likely case is that they just said "too much work" and didnt even try on it.
I’m currently using a pirated exe as to circumvent them it’s crazy we have to resort to this. I’m literally using a no cd crack in a legit version of the game like wtaf their incompetence is amazing.
“The moral of the story is: I chose a half-measure when I should have gone all the way. I'll never make that mistake again. No more half-measures.” IDK what worse the GTA Trilogy remaster or GTA SA remaster
I get that, but a remaster having extra bugs is just disrespectful. Rockstar should stop working with this studio wtf they made a bad mobile port and now this
Keep in mind, GTA 5, in 2020 alone, generated $911 million for its developer Rockstar Games. They had the money to do it right, but they outsourced it, and accepted a dumbed down version, and then released it to eager fans. Shame on Rockstar. The new Tommy Vercetti looks more like Minecraft Steve than he looks like the old Tommy. The environment looks good. I appreciate some effort there, but the rain and the character models? Holy.. weapon wheel? Choice. Checkpoints and auto-saving? Excellent. But literally I want to light a bag of dog crap on fire and put it on Rockstar's front porch. They pranked us. We should prank them.
Guys, let’s face it it’s been a long time coming, the RDR2 single player was the last hurrah of Dan. He’s gone, the company is just different now… RIP Rockstar 00’-16’
Not buying this before the review embargo feels like the best decision I ever made as a consumer. Now I ‘m just happy to have been able to experience these games in their prime, before Rockstar turned into the soullessly uninspired, greedy racket it is today. Rest in peace, GTA trilogy. Good times.
I've had to work all day in the last few days, so when I finally went to play the games today - THEY WERE NOT THERE. I was like "Wait, I bought them. I've downloaded them yesterday. wha"
That sucks man, part of working hard is knowing you have something enjoyable like a good game to relax with. You probably had your snacks and drinks already to go only to find out you couldn't play something you paid for.
Legit same situation. Luckily I had the original versions already installed so I’ve just been messing with mods to get a new vice city and SA experience
@@TheTheOpTiCJewel I had bought san andreas a few weeks before the definitive edition. Best 12 bucks I'd ever spent now seeing it off the market and the d.e. seems to be tanking.
Alternate ending, the outsource studio is given enough time to truly remaster the game, the compile the best mods and use them as reference points to rebuild the models, textures, fx etc. Voices stay the same sadly but what do you expect (a few of the actors have since passed away etc). We get a really good looking remaster true to the originals, the end credits have a huge list of special thanks to the modders who's work was referenced. We all have a good time. I'm sad we live in the bad ending...
Mannn, I've always thought what rockstar would look like in another timeline if they were like sega and actually incorporated the modders and the og fans who love tha games and try to make them better, but unfortunately we don't live in that world 😕
Rockstar: removes old versions of classic gta's on steam and charge 50 USD to buy the remasters on their launcher and then remove the games. Piracy: don't you worry kiddo , i got you covered.
imagine the crash physics, ragdolls, even more modern game improvements, etc. these still feel exactly like the originals. literally all it has now is fancy lighting, and a weapon/radio wheel with slow mo like gta v.
The fact that Mafia’s “REMASTER” was like at par with most 2020 games which was released first BACK IN 2002! That company really gave a shit about making a video game better . Whereas Rockstar Games are just drowning in HEAVY SHITSTORM . For people who say “It s a remaster , not a remake” , really just go and see Mafia’s remaster . I called it that Rockstar is just finding some excuse and is trying to entertain the audience with LEAST hardwork and MOST payout
It really feels like they commissioned some mobile remakes to sell for $10 on iPhone (it wouldn't be too bad then), but then some suit told them to hash it on consoles and PC and charge $60 for it.
You're not too far off from the truth the people who made this remaster, Grove Street Games (War Drum Studios) made the mobile and 7th gen console port of the 10th anniversary remasters
it's actually like what you said, this remasta is made by wardrum aka grovestreet games. Maker of demastered PS3 variant. Oh, vadim m gonna have so much fun at this...
4:00 this is what i think exactly. I wanted an homage to the games personality, not just better graphics, but with better graphics, maybe enhancing details in the cutscenes in the sense of what was wanting to be transmitted, almost movie like. I don't mind the audio being the old one, its nostalgic for me but i guess newer people don't get it, there are AI that upscale the audio without losing quality, heck even manually editing the audio you can get it to sound better. Good video man.
Major lighting issues. Some of the old ambient light doesn't translate to the new lighting system, so entire areas are just super under-lit. It needed finessing, not someone saying "oh that's out of scope".
rockstar should’ve just hired the modders to remake the trilogy, at least then it would’ve been made with love and care and actual effort would’ve gone into it. but rockstar being rockstar distancing themselves from the community refusing to work with or communicate with us. what a tragedy
At 5:57, the company behind Mafia (2002) and (2020) actually have a shit because those people actually knew how good their franchise is and are not cash grabbers like R*. Mafia really deserves more love, it's not a gta online but rather a refreshing game for people who haven't experienced the 2002 Mafia properly. I feel proud more people are actually talking about Mafia 1 and about how you referenced it. Keep up !
I couldn't believe ppl were ever saying this game looked better than the originals lol. Especially when they literally showed how good the original was in the trailers. Also ppl made the whole "it captures the cartoon style of the original" argument, which is a load of bs cus the originals were never ment to be that way it's just because of the tech at the time. One last thing the bad graphics go way beyond the character models as they maxed the draw distance out in the game which completely kills the feel of the original among other visual effects that were axed.
@@Thatguy55595 -Less details in the enviroment -Lighting bugs everywhere -Like, just bad lighting in general -No fog to hide the map -The rain. The rain. Are you sure about that?
there is a mod that enables this feature made by Voron (Raven), and the latest version of it was so polished that for a second, I thought it is made by Rockstar itself
@@leocastrillo759 First person view is the view from the character's perspective. You see the arms and weapons. In the car, you see the inside of the car and dashboard. That's first-person view.
Create a sim is a great creator this was clearly made on... Can't think of a shit creator, even that Adult rated BMX Xbox game has a decent character creator.
Honestly, i found the maps/environments pretty good, except for all the spelling errors made by the stupid AI upscaler and the fog thats been removed in GTA SA. But the rest where pretty bad... I kinda wanted to keep my purchase and see if they at all cared to fix it, but now that Rockstar have removed my LEGALLY owned games from their launcher, thats where i drew the line and requested a refund on Xsolla (Rockstars payment provider, i didnt want to deal with the beyond useless Rockstar support.). What this has shown is that Rockstar still owns the games you have purchased, and can pull them WHENEVER they want. All you pay for is to be allowed to "borrow" their games. Rockstar is dead, thats obvious. Worst part, Rockstar didnt even make these games. They outsourced it to the shitty company "Grove Street Games", thing is, im sure Grove Street Games actually cared and wanted to put out a good product. Its just that Grove Street Games are amateur mobile port developers, they probably did all they could. This is Rockstars fault for trusting them, and for being lazy and cheap enough to not develop the games themselves. All this have made me wonder tho, what the ACTUAL FUCK is the 2000 employees at Rockstar up to now a days? Like seriously? Theyre not making updates for GTAO, theyre not making updates for RDRO, theyre not making any new games because then they would have been leaked a long time ago...
"These are the games that made them who they are today, and this is how they're treated" That is so true The OG SA is like 10x better. All you need to do is install 1 mod. A single graphics mod, and you could have better graphics than the definitive editions. I'll never be buying any of them unless they actually fix the shit Jfc Rockstar. Since GTA 5, they've only gone down. GTA 4 was their peak (GTA Wise). This trilogy is currently not worth 60$
As far as i saw the amount of problems these games have would probably take years to fix. SA remaster from 2014 is a giant turd with a shit tone of bugs as well and that never got fixed to this day so I wouldn't hold my breath.
What makes it more sad is that they deleted the original version from purchased on steam making this not so definitive edition the only game we had. Oh well time to raised the black flag 🏴☠️

This is absolute proof that it is morally acceptable to pirate all of Rockstar's games. As Gabe Newell famously said, piracy is a service problem. When the experience from pirates is better in every way than the "legitimate" offerings, that is damning of the company, and they need to do better if they want your money.
Exactly why I don't mind buying games on steam, but if you try to force your own launcher on me like ubisoft or Rockstar then im just going to pirate instead.
piracy is a victimless crime and is always morally acceptable
Can someone please gimme a gta San Andreas crack I have tried everything
@@Scripzure well, the victim is technically the developers/the company themselves, tho I have no sympathy for a company as greedy as Rockstar so I don't really care that much
I've given plenty of money to Rockstar already and I'm more than happy giving them more. I'm just waiting for them to finally sell something that's worth money
When rockstar said it was going to be a mix of old and new graphics, I imagined better lighting, weather, and more refined textures. But unsurprisingly, they made it worse than I could possibly imagine from a billion dollar company
I am finished Rockstar raped my most favorite games
They are dead to me
They've been dead for a while, dude. Post RDR2, only thing they're gonna do is 'enhance' GTA V, port it into different platforms, and milk the living hell out of RDR and GTA Online. Even if GTA 6 is ever going to be released, if there's anything these AAA companies have taught us, is to set ourselves a low expectation for their products
It turned out they meant: better graphics, but same bugs (or even more) and same old mechanics from early 2000s.
Not defending Rockstar, but they didn't do the remaster, it was Grove Street Games but doesn't change the fact that both Rockstar and GSG are both in fault, also GSG thinking that AI for upscaling the textures is a good idea.
Rockstar: "Let's put no effort into this remake."
After release
Rockstar: "Why is everyone pirating the remakes?"
*remaster*
Pirating the originals more like
90s politicians always said that GTA would turn us into criminals. Just turns out the crime isn't beating hookers, but online software piracy.
The saddest part is that these remasters aren't even worth pirating or playing altogether.
The worst part about it they could try and use that against RE3 in a lawsuit.
Like how Sonny said in Vice City
"That was my money Tommy! MY MONEY!"
People who bought the previous ports and "remasters": Ah sh*t, here we go again...
THAT WAS MY MONEY ROCKSTAR! MY MONEY!!!
@KingOfTek xdddd same
We're at the point where companies as big as EA, Bethesda and Rockstar KNOW they are too big to fail. They can re-release the same game over, and over, and over. People will buy it. They can offload the remaster of threee of their most popular and beloved games to a company who half assed the 360 version of San Andreas and has proven they are incompetent in game design. Doesn't matter. They'll just remove the original games from the store, threaten to sue any modders who made graphical mods and force those down. Giving you no choice BUT to buy the remaster. Whether it sucks ass or not, people will buy it. Effort and passion are not a requirement.
All the old talent at Rockstar left. Dan Houser, Lazlow Jones. Everything POST RDR2 from Rockstar will likely suck ass because that's when they all left. Now Rockstar will just release half assed shit, and milk GTA Online. I'm not even excited for GTA 6 at this point because it'll likely lack all the old Rockstar Charm. No one who made the games since GTA V are there anymore.

Anyone that looked into who made these Remasters had a feeling this was coming. Grove Street Games (formerly known as "War Drum Studios") made the previous mobile ports and the HD ports (for modern consoles) of the OG GTA games. Anyone who looked critically at those ports (Vladim among others) saw a broken mess with zero love for what these games were.
This is Rockstar's fault first and foremost, they knew this would happen and didn't give a shit, they just want quick money off of this.

The weird thing to me is that Rockstar either makes 10/10 masterpieces or 1/10 cash grabs. There are not other scenarios. Ubisoft for example makes consistent 6/10 games. But you know as a consumer that the games might not be the best, but they are still really enjoyable. Rockstar on the other hand is a 50/50 dice roll where you can expect either a masterpiece or a lazy cashgrab.

If we wanted to play a game with Technological issues and limitations we'd just keep the originals, why spent money on the remaster then?
I'm predicting it right now: The GTA 5 "Expanded and Enhanced" release is going to be the one that brings Rockstar down for good, after which they may either dissolve or finally, finally go back to their roots
nah, it's gonna be the one that brings Rockstar down for good because they actively INSIST on being bad. I mean ACTIVELY, it's like they're TRYING to be the most hated video game publisher in the world
if its like in the trailers then yes, because that was garbage, but maybe with this release they think twice before they shit on gta 5 too. But then again, its rockstar
Total opposite. Will make them richer than ever with new content.
Remember that CoD exists. Basically the same game every year yet everyone buys it. If Rockstar releases GTA 6 millions of people will buy it regardless if its good or not. As long as it exists and has a decent trailer it'll probably sell very high. Thats just how games like this work.

I don't mind the audio being the old one, its nostalgic for me but i guess newer people don't get it, there are AI that upscale the audio without losing quality, heck even manually editing the audio you can get it to sound better. Good video man.
*To make the games look better:*
Turn up the brightness by Three
*Big* improvement
and the colors bro, don't forget saturation... everything +50% saturation.
@@doomsday5286 I don't think they gave us that option on consoles.. Think it's just brightness and contrast :/
To make the games look better:
Play the originals and pretend this turd never existed.
Major lighting issues. Some of the old ambient light doesn't translate to the new lighting system, so entire areas are just super under-lit. It needed finessing, not someone saying "oh that's out of scope".
rockstar should’ve just hired the modders to remake the trilogy, at least then it would’ve been made with love and care and actual effort would’ve gone into it. but rockstar being rockstar distancing themselves from the community refusing to work with or communicate with us. what a tragedy
It's called being a billion dollar company they don't give a shit about us. Example: GTA definitive edition.
Rockstar is just a shell of what they used to be. Thank you so much for this GTA online and sharkcards
Piracy is okay when its towards Rockstar, enough said
Not even worth pirating this garbage.

At 5:57, the company behind Mafia (2002) and (2020) actually have a shit because those people actually knew how good their franchise is and are not cash grabbers like R*. Mafia really deserves more love, it's not a gta online but rather a refreshing game for people who haven't experienced the 2002 Mafia properly. I feel proud more people are actually talking about Mafia 1 and about how you referenced it. Keep up !
7:15 "All games are goinna have bugs at launch"
Yes, but last time I checked these games launched 15-20 years ago and didn't have these bugs.
I remember the good ole' days when people were deluding themselves into thinking it actually looks better than the original games.
Now it's just sad.
@@Thatguy55595 lol, nah RockStar fucked this up.
I couldn't believe ppl were ever saying this game looked better than the originals lol. Especially when they literally showed how good the original was in the trailers. Also ppl made the whole "it captures the cartoon style of the original" argument, which is a load of bs cus the originals were never ment to be that way it's just because of the tech at the time. One last thing the bad graphics go way beyond the character models as they maxed the draw distance out in the game which completely kills the feel of the original among other visual effects that were axed.
@@Thatguy55595 -Less details in the enviroment
-Lighting bugs everywhere
-Like, just bad lighting in general
-No fog to hide the map
-The rain. The rain.
Are you sure about that?
Also remember that R* didn't even bother to remaster the games themselves, they bunged it off to War Drum Studios again.
Red flag honestly, their games suck
I really hope we don't get a port or remaster of GTAIV. War Drum Studios just fuck up everything they touch.
@@Geass_Knightmare there is a rumor that gta iv is being remastered or remaked but not by Grove Street games aka War drum studios.
@@DviousDingle I hope it's just a rumor, my favorite GTA can't be massacred by these idiots(aka Rockstar and War Drum).
The fact that Matt's hair is even wilder than this R* remaster is beyond me.
They didn't even add first person mode to the trilogy, that would have been really cool and would have added alot imo
there is a mod that enables this feature made by Voron (Raven), and the latest version of it was so polished that for a second, I thought it is made by Rockstar itself
@@leocastrillo759 Thats not first person thats hood cam and its been in every gta game since 3, nothing new
@@leocastrillo759 First person view is the view from the character's perspective. You see the arms and weapons. In the car, you see the inside of the car and dashboard. That's first-person view.
I mean GTA San Andreas VR is coming... i don't get this anymore.
Rockstar really used Create A Sim to remaster their game
Hell, Create a Sim looks better than this. XD
Create a sim is a great creator this was clearly made on... Can't think of a shit creator, even that Adult rated BMX Xbox game has a decent character creator.
Hey Matto "PUTS THAT IN FACTS AND GLITCHES"
And here I was, having doubts of getting into the gaming industry with no experience. Looks like my application stands a chance after all.
Honestly, i found the maps/environments pretty good, except for all the spelling errors made by the stupid AI upscaler and the fog thats been removed in GTA SA. But the rest where pretty bad... I kinda wanted to keep my purchase and see if they at all cared to fix it, but now that Rockstar have removed my LEGALLY owned games from their launcher, thats where i drew the line and requested a refund on Xsolla (Rockstars payment provider, i didnt want to deal with the beyond useless Rockstar support.). What this has shown is that Rockstar still owns the games you have purchased, and can pull them WHENEVER they want. All you pay for is to be allowed to "borrow" their games. Rockstar is dead, thats obvious.
Worst part, Rockstar didnt even make these games. They outsourced it to the shitty company "Grove Street Games", thing is, im sure Grove Street Games actually cared and wanted to put out a good product. Its just that Grove Street Games are amateur mobile port developers, they probably did all they could. This is Rockstars fault for trusting them, and for being lazy and cheap enough to not develop the games themselves. All this have made me wonder tho, what the ACTUAL FUCK is the 2000 employees at Rockstar up to now a days? Like seriously? Theyre not making updates for GTAO, theyre not making updates for RDRO, theyre not making any new games because then they would have been leaked a long time ago...
You don't actually own any games on pc. You pay for a license to access a game and steam or whoever can remove your games at any time.
@@Bountyhunter108 steam has said they will never remove any games from your library even if the game is taken off the store
go to college and learn to make video games
@@selathiel8851 I know I'm just saying they could.
@@goosh571 A classic empty response: "how 'bout YOU do it, huh?"
When I went to the gym for the first time as CJ, that's when I realized it was just another mobile game patched for console.
"These are the games that made them who they are today, and this is how they're treated"
That is so true
The OG SA is like 10x better. All you need to do is install 1 mod. A single graphics mod, and you could have better graphics than the definitive editions. I'll never be buying any of them unless they actually fix the shit
Jfc Rockstar. Since GTA 5, they've only gone down. GTA 4 was their peak (GTA Wise). This trilogy is currently not worth 60$
As far as i saw the amount of problems these games have would probably take years to fix. SA remaster from 2014 is a giant turd with a shit tone of bugs as well and that never got fixed to this day so I wouldn't hold my breath.
rdr2 was their peak not gta 4.
RDR2 was their peak... Then GTA 5, then GTA 4.
@@randomness5281 Yep
@@BlasterzHD RDR2 was for sure their peak, but GTA 4 comes before 5
What makes it more sad is that they deleted the original version from purchased on steam making this not so definitive edition the only game we had. Oh well time to raised the black flag 🏴☠️
